BLUEWATER BY SPINNAKER HHI
ROYAL HOLIDAY CLUB RHC (POINTS)
No One Has Been Able to Solve This Cryptic Puzzle by a British Spy Agency - from Business Insider Australia/ businessinsider.com
"The British intelligence and security organisation GCHQ released a "grid-shading puzzle" over Christmas to keep recipients entertained over the holiday season.
But so far, no one has been able to solve it and it's giving codebreakers a headache with less than 24 hours left until the deadline.
Around 30,000 people, roughly 5% of the people who have tried their hand at it, have reached the final stage of the puzzle.
In a statement released by the spy agency, which also works in conjunction with SIS and MI5 -- close to 600,000 people have managed to successfully solve the first stage of the puzzle which was "a nonogram which when completed correctly, creates a QR (Quick Response) code."
But Director GCHQ, Robert Hannigan, has given a clue to the remaining codebreakers:
"With a few days to go no one has cracked it all yet, so my one and only clue is: it’s not as abstract as you think..."
